AI crawlers are harvesting our work blind. I built CEOS_SearchLight to guide them and force authentic IP tracking.

Like the beam of a lighthouse during a storm at sea, CEOS_SearchLight provides a beacon for creatives, media professionals, and developers to authenticate, track, and protect their IP. It provides guidance and direction that goes way beyond current json-ld and robots.txt implementations.

Simply put, we work to close the loop by including feedback and acting as a proactive crawler ourselves. A simple thumbs up or down on feedback signals cuts through the noise and filters out the crap.

The tool tackles IP protection in four specific steps: Create, Curate, Distribute, and Protect (…by actively listening to feedback).

The backend codebase is structurally sound, and now I am finalizing the UI/UX. I wanted to let the tool do the talking, so I set up a publicly accessible sandbox for you to test the interface and the cognitive ergonomics yourself. I need your harshest critiques. Tear my concept apart.

Link to the full breakdown and the live testing Sandbox is in the comments!
